Ingredients

2 portions fresh udon noodles (about 400g)

2 tbsp peanut butter (creamy preferred)

1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

2 tbsp noodle cooking water

Spring onions, thinly sliced

Sesame seeds

Optional toppings:

Fried egg

Soft-boiled egg

Sautéed greens (e.g. bok choy)

Crispy tofu

Cooked chicken

Instructions

Cook udon noodles according to package instructions. Reserve 2 tablespoons of noodle water before draining.

In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, gochujang, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and noodle water until smooth and creamy.

Add the drained noodles to the sauce and toss until fully coated.

Serve hot, topped with spring onions, sesame seeds, and your choice of optional toppings.

Notes

Sauce will look thin but thickens once noodles are added.

Adjust gochujang for heat preference.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Customize with protein or veggies to suit your taste.
